My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Tio is a good boy. He LOVES to chase balls and frisbees. He likes to go to the dog park, walk, run and hike. He knows some commands (sit, stay, come). He is a sweet boy but he does have a lot of energy. He is 100% house trained and crate trained. He is a herding breed and does jump up on people and kids, though we are actively working on extinguishing that behavior. He currently lives with two kids (ages 6 and 9), he is great with them but, he may not be suitable for very young children. He does well on a leash and loves to watch activity throughout the day out the house windows.

We are looking to rehome him kindly. Our daughter has been diagnosed with an autoimmune disease and we need to remove allergens from our home, unfortunately this includes Tio. We are super sad about it, but don't have other options at this time to optimize her potential for a healthier future.
